Happy Holidays From Undented!
http://undented.com/news/2183/happy-holidays-from-undented Well, it’s getting to be that time of the year when we retreat to visit with family and friends for the holidays. Violet and I will both be out and about for the next week or so through New Year’s so site updates will be sporadic at best but before heading out into the snow, we both want to wish you all and yours a happy and joyful holiday season, regardless of which — one or ones — you may celebrate this time of year!
We’ll sign off for now with this lovely rendition of “Star of Wonder” performed by the PS22 Chorus.
All the best and see you in 2010! |

Metro Interview (December 21, 2009)
http://undented.com/news/2177/metro-interview-december-21-2009
[Women would] bring different things to the table, because of our life experiences. The issue about war, for example, is that when you carry life and give birth to life, the idea of life being taken away, even if it isn’t your own child… there’s a sanctity a lot of women have for life.
This short interview appeared in today’s issue of The Metro — a free publication available in the London Underground.
Thanks to Mary and Brian for catching it and sending in the link! |

'Twas The Night Before Christmas...
http://undented.com/news/2173/-twas-the-night-before-christmas
…and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The radios were tuned to the stations with care,
In hopes that Tori Amos soon would be there.
You’ll excuse the poor poetic parody as there are two upcoming radio appearances slated for Christmas Eve.
First, at Noon Eastern, a live session recorded for Sirius XM’s The Coffee House (Sirius channel 30 and XM channel 51) will be aired. The session will be repeated later at Midnight and several more times before the end of the Christmas weekend: 3:00 PM on Christmas, 7:00 PM on the 26th and 11:00 AM on the 27th (all times Eastern). Sirius XM satellite radio is not freely available but you can also sign up for a free online streaming trial if you are not a subscriber and want to check the session out.
Later on that evening, Tori will be a guest during WRNR’s Dysfunctional Family Christmas — six hours of Christmas music and mayhem starting at 6:00 PM Eastern. One assumes that Tori’s guest appearance is pre-recorded and that she’ll only be on part of the program but we’ll have to tune in to see. The entire event will be rebroadcast on Christmas morning from 6:00 AM to Noon Eastern.
To whet the appetite for The Coffee House Live, Sirius has posted a video of Tori performing “Winter” from the upcoming session. Enjoy!
Thanks to Dawn and Josh for the tips! |

Popwreckoning Interview (December 17, 2009)
http://undented.com/news/2172/popwreckoning-interview-december-17-2009
I think you always have some regrets. Sometimes they’re little. It’s how you handle certain situations. I go back to that thing, “Be smart, not right.” I find that when I have to be right over being smart, which can achieve the win that you’re wanting to achieve, that you usually look back and wish you were smart instead of needing to be right.
Dese’Rae Stage had a chance to speak to Tori for music website Popwreckoning and the interview was posted on their site yesterday. While a few of the questions asked revolve around the holiday season, most strayed well off the beaten path of recent interviews that have dealt primarily with Midwinter Graces. As such, it’s a nice departure from the usual!
This interview was also posted on QRO MAgazine’s website |

Powder The World In Pink & Glitter
http://undented.com/news/2169/powder-the-world-in-pink-glitter  Stephanie was the first of many to let us know about Smashbox’s Pink & Glitter Kit — a limited-edition make-up set inspired by Midwinter Graces. Packaged in a special bag, it includes eye shadow, blush and, of course, lip gloss. Purchasing the kit will also get you a code for a free download of the song “Pink & Glitter.”
While this may not be a cross-promotion with the widest of appeals, it certainly is an interesting way to spread the word about the record to some who may not have heard of Tori and her work. And hey, lip gloss! |

Janice Long Interview
http://undented.com/news/2165/janice-long-interview  Despite some initial confusion about whether it would be live or not, the conversation between Tori and BBC Radio 2 presenter Janice Long recorded during the first week of December while Tori was promoting Midwinter Graces in London, has finally been aired.
It was broadcast during Janice’s December 16th program — last Tuesday night, early Wednesday morning.
If you missed it, like we did, you’ll be able to listen to it on the BBC iPlayer for another six days.
One assumes that their conversation was the source for the clips used in the December 15th BBC 6 Music News podcast but we haven’t been able to masquerade as a member of the UK public yet to download the episode. |

Pepsi Music Blog Interview (December 14, 2009)
http://undented.com/news/2164/pepsi-music-blog-interview-december-14-2009
I’m not part of any religion. I’m inspired more by I guess the native American tradition, and many other cultures that I’ve experienced around the world. So I’m kind of a mixture. I’m a busy pigeon.
Chris Willman spoke to Tori on behalf of the Yahoo! Pepsi Music Blog and the interview was posted yesterday. The meat of the interview deals with Midwinter Graces but Tori also mentions some holiday music that she has enjoyed (hint: it’s instrumental piano work and not really a holiday record) and talks about the songs she wrote for the record in addition to discussing her rewriting of the traditional carols. |
